Antique city views provide a detailed visual record of how cities appeared in earlier centuries. The material offered here includes a range of early city views, comprising engravings, etchings, lithographs and drawings that depict streets, squares, canals, churches and gateways with considerable attention to topographical detail.<\/p>\r\n
From the seventeenth century onwards, city views were widely published in travel books and topographical series. Artists and publishers recorded the appearance of cities at specific moments in time, often prior to periods of significant change brought about by commercial expansion, urban growth and redevelopment. In addition to printed views, preparatory and independent drawings of cities are also encountered, sometimes offering a more immediate and less formalised representation of the urban environment.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/inter-antiquariaat.nl\/en\/dutch-heritage\/city-views\/","name":"City views","slug":"city-views","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":21,"yoast_head":"\n
